Madonna has been widely condemned for wearing fur.
Breeding animals for their fur is cruel, but I wonder how many of those who condemn her do so while eating their meal containing meat, and who then relax in their leather armchair before putting on their leather shoes and coat?
All those, including myself, who in one way or another use animals for food or clothing, should feel some degree of guilt and not only the few wealthy people who wear fur from exotic animals.
